Let us be diligent to Obey Him

Let us be diligent to Obey Him

Christ is Coming Again!
Let us be diligent then to Obey Him

Before I was afflicted I went astray;
but now I keep thy word.

Thou art good and doest good;
teach me thy statutes.

It is good for me that I was afflicted,
that I might learn thy statutes.

I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right,
and that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.

Let thy steadfast love be ready to comfort me
according to thy promise to thy servant.

Psalm 119:67,68,71,75, 76 RSV

And if they are bound in fetters,
And are caught in the cords of affliction,

Then He declares to them their work
And their transgressions, that they
have magnified themselves.

He opens their ear to instruction,
And commands that they return from evil.

Job 36:8-10 NASB

See, I have refined you,
though not as silver;

I have tested you in
the furnace of affliction.

Isaiah 48:10 NIV
_____________

We need a Savior because we are sinners,
and the wages of sin is death...

Thanks be unto God for his wonderful gift:
Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God
is the object of our faith;
the only faith that saves is faith in Him.


The angel said,

"Don't be afraid. I'm here to announce a great
and joyful event that is meant for everybody, worldwide:

A Savior has just been born in David's town,
a Savior who is Messiah and Master.

This is what you're to look for:
a baby wrapped in a blanket and lying in a manger."

At once the angel was joined by a huge angelic
choir singing God's praises:

Glory to God in the heavenly heights,
Peace to all men and women
on earth who please him.

Luke 2:10-14 MSG
